Terror threat

Eagles of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes suggests Paris terror attack was an inside job

Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes has been highly critical of the circumstances surrounding last November’s Paris terror attacks, which left over 80 concertgoers of the band’s Bataclan show dead. Previously, he voiced his opinion on France’s restrictive gun laws, suggesting that more people, such as those attendees, should be able to arm themselves.

He told France’s iTELE that “maybe until nobody has guns everybody has to have them. Because I don’t ever want to see anything like this ever happen again and I want everyone to have the best chance to live and I saw people die that maybe could have lived.”

Now, in a new interview on Fox Business Network’s program Kennedy (via Rolling Stone), Hughes said he believes the staff at Bataclan were involved in the tragic attacks. He noted that upon arriving at the venue on the day of the show he quickly sensed that something wasn’t quite right. Specifically, he recalled a suspicious security guard in the backstage area who wouldn’t make eye contact with him.
